We are committed to safeguarding your privacy whilst ensuring transparency about our data practices. This document applies to all users who interact with Nine through our platform, and we encourage you to read it carefully to understand your rights and our obligations.

Information We Collect

When you register and play Nine, we collect several categories of personal information necessary for providing our services. We gather identification details including your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, and telephone number during the registration process. Financial information such as payment card details, transaction history, and banking information is collected to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. Technical data includes your IP address, device information, browser type, operating system, and gameplay patterns. We also maintain records of your account activity, game preferences, betting history, and communication with our customer support team. Cookies and similar tracking technologies help us understand how you interact with Nine, allowing us to improve your gaming experience and ensure platform security.

How We Use Your Information

The information collected serves multiple essential purposes within our operations. We use your personal data to verify your identity and age, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and responsible gaming standards. Your financial details enable us to process transactions securely, including deposits, withdrawals, and bonus payments. Technical information helps us maintain platform security, detect fraudulent activity, and prevent unauthorised access to accounts. We analyse gameplay data to personalise your experience, recommend games, and identify patterns that may require intervention for safe gaming purposes. Communication preferences allow us to send you important updates about your account, new features, and promotional offers where you have consented to receive such information. We also use aggregated data to improve Nine’s functionality, develop new features, and enhance overall service quality.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We share your information with carefully selected third parties only when necessary to deliver our services or comply with legal obligations. The following table outlines our data sharing practices:

We ensure all third-party partners adhere to strict data protection standards and use your information solely for the specified purposes. We do not sell your personal data to marketing companies or unrelated third parties. Any data transfers outside Ireland or the European Economic Area are conducted with appropriate safeguards in place, including standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions.

Data Security and Retention

Protecting your personal information is fundamental to our operations at Nine. We employ industry-standard security measures including SSL encryption for data transmission, secure server infrastructure, regular security audits, and restricted access controls for staff members. Our systems are designed to detect and prevent unauthorised access, data breaches, and cyber attacks. We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by gambling regulations and legal obligations. The following retention periods apply:

After the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise your data in accordance with our data disposal procedures. You may request earlier deletion of certain data types, subject to our legal and regulatory obligations.

Your Privacy Rights

Under data protection legislation, you possess several rights regarding your personal information held by Nine. You have the right to access your data and receive a copy of the information we hold about you. You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your personal data, though this right is subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records. You can object to processing of your data for marketing purposes and withdraw consent where we rely on it as the legal basis for processing. Data portability rights allow you to receive your information in a structured, commonly used format for transfer to another service provider. You also have the right to restrict processing in specific situations, such as when contesting data accuracy or objecting to processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact our data protection officer using the details provided in your account dashboard. We will respond to your request within one month, though complex requests may require an additional two months with prior notification. If you believe we have not handled your data appropriately, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission in Ireland. We implement safe gaming measures that may involve using your data to identify concerning patterns, and whilst you maintain privacy rights, certain processing activities are necessary for regulatory compliance and player protection.
